PHIL 202 Ethics

This course endeavors to appraise critically the moral sense, deontological, utilitarian and intuitionist accounts of morality. In so doing it asks: Do our value judgments merely reflect our subjective preferences or are they based on an objective reality? Is there a single ultimate value? Should we be guided by reason or passion, altruism or egoism? Should we determine a person's worth based on the consequences of their actions or the motives for their actions? Does maximizing overall happiness respect the individual? Credit units: 3 ECTS Credit units: 5.
